Guild Wars 2

even the jump pads dont work properly, wich is on par with the rest of the map

Pls removeit from soloq everyone hate it!!!!

I used to hate this map just as much as you guys do... But once you realize you just have to spec FOR it (which can be tedious) to dominate on it, it becomes a very interesting map.

Get a ton of stability and know when to use it, and get a ton of pull/push skills and know when to use them. With these 2 simple rules, I started carrying which doesn’t usually happen.. and that’s because people hate this map and just run w/e build they run all the time.

On my guardian I enjoy playing a variation of the bursty meditation build, but when i see skyhammer, i immediatly swap to hammer and scepter/shield or hammer and GS and get "retreat", " stand your ground" and "hallowed grounds". (I also tweak traits quite a bit)

Another thing is people who get on the cannon tend to tunnel vision like crazy ( which is odd since they can see the ennemy rotations)... If you’re on the cannon you need to always keep an eye on the entrance portal to the cannon. As soon as someone pops in, they will try to push you out so pop stability and watch them waste their CC, then you just have to time your CC properly to kick them out.

While most of this info is useless to most of you, I hope it makes a few people enjoy this map a little more.

Not. Take this garbage out of sPVP, thank you.

Skyhammer and spirit watch ruin PvP.

i dont even mind spirit watch that much but in sky hammer when you wait 15 seconds just to get knocked off by an engi or a mesmer (don’t evne give me that ‘get stability’ bull kitten. only mentally challenged engis die through a 40-75 second cooldown stability buff(

We’ve easily had 1-2 anti-Skyhammer threads a day for a year now.

Maybe ANet will listen this time?

I for one actually enjoy playing on Skyhammer. Yes, I am well aware that many people highly dislike this map. For me, I enjoy the change in tactics the map provides for capturing points A & C. I especially enjoy trying to find ways to throw people off the ledge without getting thrown off myself.

For the record, I play between four classes (thief, mesmer, engineer, and my necro main), so I’m familiar with the challenge of not getting pulled off with little to no stability (I’m talking about the necro).

Hello frands! Vee Wee here #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

I think it’s time that Anet removed this map! Who’s with me my frands!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

Another bug on this map got stuck inside the glass panel and couldn’t move at all

It is really enough.

I kill the Bunker guardian, want to stomp him, thief comes, steals my fear which lasts like 4 seconds and I run down the map. Well done, well done Anet.

I want to stunbreak the fear, np. Then I get pushed back by the guardian hammer etc. There is no place safe on some points. Just cheating. In general Ilike the map, but this is just too much.

We’re not asking to remove the map from the game, it’s a fun map and you can tell a lot of detail and work went into it. Just remove it from SoloQ, if it’s not in teamQ it shouldn’t be in SoloQ.

Instead you remove Raid on the Capricorn!

I hate this map and it’s cheap kills, when i see it pop on the rotation i quit even when i am having fun, it’s bad enough I play against ton of stacked teams, I rather not deal with cheap kills BS..

Today, after almost 6 months of playing TeamQ exclusively I decided to give SoloQ another shot.

Skyhmmer, twice in a row.

Quickly I remembered why I left SoloQ behind. This map alone basically ruins an entire game-type for me.

GJ ANet on disregarding feedback regarding Skyhammer for over a year now.

map is awful, pls remove

Last night I got skyhammer multiple times in a row. I raged so hard. Last night I did not enjoy playing Guild Wars 2.

I wonder if they covered up the glass panels or made it so they didn’t break the map would be more enjoyable? You could KB in certain places, the hammer especially, but there would be a lot less rage. I think the idea of the map is not bad, there are just too many places to fall from…

They still have not removed it…

The glass panels (and general instant death mechanic) are a major issue with the map, yes, but there’s also the secondary objective.

One major thing, shared between teams, that both have to fight over constantly to do well with, and that certain classes can build to be really far too powerful at. The skyhammer.
This is also most of the complaint with Spirit Watch (also a greatly disliked map) – it’s a great map layout, but the orb is worth a lot of points, demands that teams fight over it, and can be run terribly effectively by heavies with all those blocks and the Warrior movement skills madness. Shared objectives should be rarer and more valuable, so they’re an important point of the match but don’t dominate it – Stillness and Tranquility on Temple, for example. No classes completely dominate for communing, and you can spend most of the match fighting over capture points rather than getting kittened off at the Engi on hammer or whatever.

I REALLY hate Skyhammer.. That is all.

I wonder how many threads have been merged into this one. If only I had a gold for every single one…

This map have no balance.
Atleast remove from soloquene plz.

Got pulled into oblivion by mesmer countless times and guess what? My team won by more than 250 points. Some people are just trolling jerks – this map is tailormade for them.

Be glad that it wasn’t a decap or hambow to face or even a CnD pull theif. Those specs are much more deadly then a mesmer. There is a reason people don’t want this in Solo Q, it promotes skilless specs just spamming KDs or pulls from stealth for when they have access to it.

Into The Void is actually the best skill on this map with some practice. Also, Mesmer has stealth. And yeah, I use it, and yeah I win a lot on this map. Do I like it? Not really.

Just remove skyhammer from solo que. Any cheesy mesmer or engi that misses it just hotjoin a custom server.

Actually I think hambows are not that dangerous on this map, unless they take stomp and fear me asu utility skills (discarding berserker or balanced stance).
I think thieves and guardian hammer are way deadlier. I met a thief who didn’t do anything except using scorpion wire and black powder, and it was so frustrating.

Also, the skyhammer portal is pretty bugged, and the cam is horrible.
EDIT: i’d be happy if they simply removed the kitten glass.

They should just remove the map from Ranked rotation.

I just really love sky hammer. Not gonna lie. I hope it stays in solo que.

mesmer is best at this map. good mesmer > any class at hammer. mesmer removes your stability and pushes and pulls you and when those on CD mesmer blurred frenzy, distortion, invis, oh that was fast I’m ready to remove your stability and pull you again, you ready?

Engineer’s are easier to dodge and can’t steal your stability every couple seconds, and the knockbacks aren’t instantaneous allowing you to stunbreak during them.

Good guardians are also very difficult with greatsword and hammer but hammer has a long CD it’s GS that you have to watch out for.

Skyhammer has been the most ridiculous map in GW2

it was the best “farm” map
its the best troll map
its the most hated map
its the most unbalanced map
its the most beginners unfriendly map
u can’t even dodge the skyhammer lololololol

—> just remove it from SoloQ and finally do something the comunity wants and not some Dev minority…

Yo, this is my daily remove skyhammer post.

Remove it. It’s crap.

Pls remove skyhammer. It’s an awful map.

im rarely getting a 5v5 match on skyhammer in soloq. roughly 15 out of the last 20 matches on that map were 4v5 or even 3v5.

you aren’t punishing leavers and you aren’t fixing the map so what is the thinking behind leaving things the way they are? lack of data? ignorance? anet’s owner’s child designed the map? what is it? i’m really curious what the good reason is that nobody will comment on this and nothing ever even hints towards changing.

any thread that even references skyhammer gets shoved under this rug of a thread.

anet is sick of hearing it.

A few hours ago before I went off to class, we had a SoloQ skyhammer match, 4 mesmers and me playing decap on my team, 2 engis and one mesmer on the other team. Please remove skyhammer from SoloQ, if a team comp that is useless on the other 5 maps dominates on Skyham then this map is too niche, too divorced from Conquest in general.

Seriously the skyham portal is so annoying, 1 out of 5 times it teleports twice and I wind up on the same side of the portal and it still puts me on cooldown.

i dont understand how arenanet can ignore us players for soooo long time

they simply dont care

Maby we should spam supourt bout a forum problem? Cause Forum moderators ignore this skyhammer Thread.
They dont talk to the Devs, management or whoever has something to say. Maby supourt can help?

Every time I’m forced to play this map I hate you a bit more ANET!

Then don’t play it. When ever your queue pops it tells you what map you are going in. If you see sky hammer just leave and queue up again. If enough people start doing this their collected data will show that this map isn’t what people want and then they might remove it.

I don’t think there is a leave option in Solo q?

The map has a hidious concept. Skyhammer itself is like a giant sniper rifle from CoD waiting for a camper. Ban the map for the love of the game

I’ve never been in a (SoloQ) match where someone did not complain about the map.

Forgot whether I posted today, but pls remove this map.

you can’t do that

I actually can’t believe they haven’t removed this map from SoloQ yet.

Yea cause soloque is serious business..

Soloque is supposed to be casual and fun.
Skyhammer is the only time I have fun playing soloque, because no matter how awful my teammates I Can still do work on the team and win matches we shouldn’t have won.

No one has fun in skyhammer.

Skyhammer heroes belong to hotjoin

‘Casual and fun’ in PvP should be combat-based, not instagib nonsense and massive undodgeable/unblockable damage + CC from above… along with a whooole bunch of bugs and a lot of badly designed camera hell zones.

410 people reacting on this and still no dev.
